"What the ADP seeks to do is to develop national capacities to address the range of issues along the value chain of access and delivery – from raising awareness of the need for an enabling policy and legal environment, to developing capacity for decision-making on resource allocation for procurement of health technologies, for assessing the needs and capacity of the domestic industry to meet the national demand, as well as the need for an efficient supply and delivery chain."

"Better understanding of the implications of inter-related and inter-linked issues, coupled with better communications and coordination between the government agencies and stakeholders will be crucial in developing a conducive framework for ensuring sustainable, affordable access to health technologies."
